Pasta that hits like a fresh mate.
Matesta is small-batch artisan pasta kneaded with real yerba mate — earthy, energizing, and unapologetically green. One plate. Zero apologies.
The Matesta promise
Brand new. Not nameless.
We're a founder-run kitchen launching our first batches. Here's what we guarantee on every box.
Real yerba, not flavoring
Stone-ground organic mate kneaded into the dough — never extracts or syrups.
30-day taste guarantee
Don't love it? Tell us why and we'll refund the box. Keep the pasta.
Ships in 48 hours
Boxed and on a truck within two business days of your order. Tracked end-to-end.
Small batch, named hands
Every box is labeled with the batch number and the cook who ran it.
The lineup
Four shapes. One unmistakable green.
Each cut is matched to how mate behaves on the palate — grassy up top, malty at the finish.
Mate Tagliatelle
Long, ribbon-cut, hand-rolled to 2mm. Catches butter, brown sage, and a finishing rasp of pecorino like it was built for it. Because it was.
- 6.5% yerba mate by dry weight
- Bronze-die cut for sauce cling
- 4-minute cook from dry
Yerba Rigatoni
Tube-cut for ragùs and weeknight bakes. The grooves hold sauce like a debt collector.
Mate Orecchiette
Little ears. Big personality. Made for sausage, broccoli rabe, and a heavy pour of olive oil.
